Driving your vehicle

WARNING

- ENGINE EXHAUST CAN BE DANGEROUS!

Engine exhaust fumes may be extremely dangerous. When, at any time, you

smell exhaust fumes inside the vehicle, immediately open the windows.

• Do not inhale exhaust fumes.

Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, the colorless, odorless gas that

may cause unconsciousness and death by asphyxiation.

• Be sure the exhaust system does not leak.

The exhaust system should be checked whenever the vehicle is raised to

change the oil or for any other purpose. If you notice a change in the sound

of the exhaust system or if you drive over something that strikes the vehicle

underneath, have the exhaust system checked as soon as possible by an

authorized EQUUS dealer.

• Do not run the engine in an enclosed area.

Letting the engine idle in a garage, even with the garage door open, is haz-

ardous. Never run the engine in your garage any longer than it takes to start

the engine and move out the vehicle.

• Avoid idling the engine for a prolonged period of time with people inside

the vehicle.

If it is necessary to idle the engine for a prolonged period of time with people

inside the vehicle, idle the engine in an open area with the air control in the

(fresh) air intake mode and the fan operating at a high speed. Thus, fresh air

can be taken into the interior.

When you need to drive with the trunk lid open because of the object you carry,

make sure the followings:

1. Close all windows.

2. Open side vents.

3. Set the air intake control in (fresh) air intake mode, the air flow directed

toward "Floor" or "Face," and the fan at a high speed.

To assure proper ventilation, clear snow, ice, leaves or other substances from

the air inlet just in front of the windshield.

California PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Engine exhaust and a wide variety of automobile components and

parts, including components found in the interior furnishings in a

vehicle, contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to

cause cancer and birth defects and reproductive harm. In addition,

certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain products of compo-

nent wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California

to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
